The Effect of NOD2 Activation on TLR2-Mediated Cytokine Responses Is Dependent on Activation Dose and NOD2 Genotype Genes and Immunity (2008) 9, 274–278 & 2008 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1466-4879/08 $30.00 www.nature.com/gene SHORT COMMUNICATION The effect of NOD2 activation on TLR2-mediated cytokine responses is dependent on activation dose and NOD2 genotype MEA Borm1, AA van Bodegraven2, CJJ Mulder2, G Kraal1 and G Bouma1,2 1Department of Molecular Cell Biology and Immunology, Vrije Universiteit Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands and 2Department of Gastroenterology, Vrije Universiteit Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands The mechanism by which mutations in NOD2 predispose to Crohn’s disease (CD) is incompletely understood. In mice, NOD2 has been found to function as a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling. In contrast, studies in humans so far showed no negative regulatory interaction between NOD2 and TLR2, and in fact suggest a synergistic effect between the two. Here, we show that this interaction is dose dependent. Adding low doses of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) to TLR2 primed monocytes results in a significant increase in cytokine production, whereas adding higher doses of MDP led to a striking downregulation of the responses. This downregulation by high-dose MDP does not occur in monocytes from NOD2-deficient patients. The inhibitory role of NOD2 at high concentrations of MDP implicates a safety mechanism to prevent exaggerated antibacterial immune responses in the gut to high or perpetuating bacterial load. This regulatory mechanism is lost in NOD2- deficient CD patients.

Emerging evidences suggested a potential role of NLRs in anti‑neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‑associated vasculitis (AAV). This study aimed to investigate the expression of nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain con‑ taining protein 2 (NOD2), NOD‑like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and NOD‑like receptor family CARD domain containing 5 (NLRC5) in kidneys of AAV patients, and further explored their associations with clinical and pathological parameters. Methods: Thirty‑four AAV patients in active stage were recruited. Their renal specimens were processed with immu‑ nohistochemistry to assess the expression of three NLRs, and with double immunofuorescence to detect NLRs on intrinsic and infltrating cells. Analysis of gene expression was also adopted in cultured human podocytes. The associa‑ tions between expression of NLRs and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed. Results: The expression of NOD2, NLRP3 and NLRC5 was signifcantly higher in kidneys from AAV patients than those from normal controls, minimal change disease or class IV lupus nephritis. These NLRs co‑localized with podocytes and infltrating infammatory cells.

The differences in vulnerability to leprosy, the spectral immune response, and the clinical manifestations of this disease are related to different genetic backgrounds among individuals. In this sense, genetic variants, especially in genes related to mycobacteria recognition and host immune response, may be key factors to explain individual susceptibility and resistance to leprosy and their conditions. In this chapter, studies regarding association of genetic variants in pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and leprosy will be reviewed revealing the importance of molecules such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) in leprosy initiation and maintenance. Keywords: polymorphisms, pattern-recognition receptors, mycobacterium leprae, leprosy 1. Introduction Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, which is an intracellular bacterium with high infectivity and low pathogenicity. It means that there are a large number of people exposed to this pathogen; however, the majority of them are naturally resistant. On the other hand, some people develop leprosy once challenged with M. leprae. The people who develop disease may present different clinical forms of leprosy. Some of them develop a localized disease, named tuberculoid leprosy, with a strong host response, which does not avoid development of nerve injury and physical disabilities.

Robson MacDonald,x Pedro Romero,x Walter Reith,‡ Greta Guarda,*,1 and Ju¨rg Tschopp*,1,2 Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular proteins involved in innate-driven inflamma- tory responses. The function of the family member NLR caspase recruitment domain containing protein 5 (NLRC5) remains a matter of debate, particularly with respect to NF-kB activation, type I IFN, and MHC I expression. To address the role of NLRC5, we generated Nlrc5-deficient mice (Nlrc5D/D). In this article we show that these animals exhibit slightly decreased CD8+ T cell percentages, a phenotype compatible with deregulated MHC I expression. Of interest, NLRC5 ablation only mildly affected MHC I expression on APCs and, accordingly, Nlrc5D/D macrophages efficiently primed CD8+ T cells. In contrast, NLRC5 deficiency dramatically impaired basal expression of MHC I in T, NKT, and NK lymphocytes. NLRC5 was sufficient to induce MHC I expression in a human lymphoid cell line, requiring both caspase recruitment and LRR domains. Moreover, endogenous NLRC5 localized to the nucleus and occupied the proximal promoter region of H-2 genes. Consistent with downregulated MHC I expression, the elimination of Nlrc5D/D lymphocytes by cytotoxic T cells was markedly reduced and, in addition, we observed low NLRC5 expression in several murine and human lymphoid-derived tumor cell lines.

As members of the STAND ATPases, the NLRs are generally thought to share a similar model of ATP-dependent activation and effect. However, recent observations have challenged this paradigm to reveal novel and complex biochemical processes to discern NLRs from other STAND proteins. In this review, we highlight past findings that identify the regulatory importance of conserved ATP-binding and hydrolysis motifs within the nucleotide-binding NACHT domain of NLRs and explore recent breakthroughs that generate connections between NLR protein structure and function. Indeed, newly deposited NLR structures for NLRC4 and NLRP3 have provided unique perspectives on the ATP-dependency of inflammasome activation. Novel molecular dynamic simulations of NLRP3 examined the active site of ADP- and ATP-bound models. The findings support distinctions in nucleotide-binding domain topology with occupancy of ATP or ADP that are in turn disseminated on to the global protein structure.

NLRP3 infammasome activation is a newly identifed amplifying step in the pathogenesis of myocarditis. We previously have demonstrated that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are cardioprotective in Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis. In this study, MSC markedly inhibited left ventricular (LV) NOD2, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 mRNA expression in CVB3-infected mice. ASC protein expression, essential for NLRP3 infammasome assembly, increased upon CVB3 infection and was abrogated in MSC-treated mice. Concomitantly, CVB3 infection in vitro induced NOD2 expression, NLRP3 infammasome activation and IL-1β secretion in HL-1 cells, which was abolished after MSC supplementation. The inhibitory efect of MSC on NLRP3 infammasome activity in HL-1 cells was partly mediated via secretion of the anti-oxidative protein stanniocalcin-1. Furthermore, MSC application in CVB3-infected mice reduced the percentage of NOD2-, ASC-, p10- and/or IL-1β-positive splenic macrophages, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells. The suppressive efect of MSC on infammasome activation was associated with normalized expression of prominent regulators of myocardial contractility and fbrosis to levels comparable to control mice. In conclusion, MSC treatment in myocarditis could be a promising strategy limiting the adverse consequences of cardiac and systemic NLRP3 infammasome activation.

  • A Role for the Pattern Recognition Receptor Nod2 in Promoting Recruitment of CD103&Plus; Dendritic Cells to the Colon In
    ARTICLES nature publishing group A role for the pattern recognition receptor Nod2 in promoting recruitment of CD103 þ dendritic cells to the colon in response to Trichuris muris infection R Bowcutt1,4, M Bramhall1, L Logunova1, J Wilson2, C Booth2, SR Carding3, R Grencis1 and S Cruickshank1 The ability of the colon to generate an immune response to pathogens, such as the model pathogen Trichuris muris,isa fundamental and critical defense mechanism. Resistance to T. muris infection is associated with the rapid recruitment of dendritic cells (DCs) to the colonic epithelium via epithelial chemokine production. However, the epithelial–pathogen interactions that drive chemokine production are not known. We addressed the role of the cytosolic pattern recognition receptor Nod2. In response to infection, there was a rapid influx of CD103 þ CD11c þ DCs into the colonic epithelium in wild-type (WT) mice, whereas this was absent in Nod2 À / À animals. In vitro chemotaxis assays and in vivo experiments using bone marrow chimeras of WT mice reconstituted with Nod2 À / À bone marrow and infected with T. muris demonstrated that the migratory function of Nod2 À / À DCs was normal. Investigation of colonic epithelial cell (CEC) innate responses revealed a significant reduction in epithelial production of the chemokines CCL2 and CCL5 but not CCL20 by Nod2-deficient CECs. Collectively, these data demonstrate the importance of Nod2 in CEC responses to infection and the requirement for functional Nod2 in initiating host epithelial chemokine-mediated responses and subsequent DC recruitment and T-cell responses following infection. INTRODUCTION characterized, how and why these immune responses are The gastrointestinal-dwelling parasite, Trichuris muris initiated is still unclear.

NOD2 belongs to the NLR family and is a dynamic receptor capable of interacting with multiple proteins and modulate immune responses in a stimuli-dependent manner. The experimental evidence shows that interaction between NOD2 structural domains and the effector proteins shape the overall response against bacterial or viral infections. Other reports have focused on the importance of NOD2 not only in infection but also in maintaining tissue homeostasis. However, not only protein interactions relate to function but also certain polymorphisms in the gene that encodes NOD2 have been associated with inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn’s disease. Here, we review the importance and general characteristics of NOD2, discussing its participation in infections caused by bacteria and viruses as well as its interaction with other pathogen recognition receptors or effectors to induce antibacterial and antiviral responses.
